Steve Earle, the only artist that I will buy an album from without hearing a track off it first. I still think some of Earles best stuff is from his early days, Copperhead Road, Guitar Town, that stuff.

Finally another Steve Earle fan! I'm with you, bro. Anything Steve releases, I'll buy blindly and I have never regretted. I consider him one of the finest songwriters of our time.

Steve Earl understands great American music as the long wide river that it is.
He calls upon years and years of commitment to the greatness of a long tradition.
He came to music as a disciple of Townes Van Zandt.
I would very very seriously recommend "Heartworn Highways" to any country music fans (even rock fans who like country a bit).
Steve Earl before any of us heard of him. Just kid hanging around with the big boys.

Steve Earle fans who are also vinyl freaks might find this interesting:

Warner Bros. Records will release remastered versions of six classic Steve Earle albums next month, beginning with a trio of reissues on September 22: The Mountain, Earle’s Grammy-nominated 1999 collaboration with the legendary Del McCoury Band, the Grammy-nominated Transcendental Blues, originally released in 2000, and Earle’s 2002 compilation album, Sidetracks. All six albums – originally released via E-Squared/Artemis Records – will be available in vinyl and CD formats.

Following on September 29 will be 2002’s Jerusalem, which contains the controversial “John Walker’s Blues,” Earle’s 2003 live set, Just An American Boy, and his Grammy-winning 2004 album, The Revolution Starts Now. This will mark the first time that Sidetracks and Just An American Boy have been released on vinyl. In addition, a remastered version of 1997’s El Corazón will be released for the first time on vinyl on November 24 (Black Friday).

I already own all these albums, but I'll be picking these remastered vinyl reissues up anyway. Bought two of them yesterday ("Jerusalem" and "The Revolution Starts Now") and plan to get the rest ASAP. Particularly excited about "Sidetracks", "Just An American Boy" and "El Corazón" finally being released on vinyl.
